Adopt Gros Pato

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years

Gros Pato Male Born in June 2021 Mixed Breed York Description Description Arrived at the shelter due to abandonment with his brother First, they lived freely. All his education needs to be done and a follow-up with a professional may be necessary. He is a small joyful, nervous, very dynamic dog that requires as much attention as freedom. Used to living outdoors, a bit left to himself, Gros pato is looking for a placement in a house with a garden. The presence of another balanced dog is recommended, so he can relearn to interact better and manage his emotions on a daily basis. If you like walking, going on long walks, watching him run, he will follow you with enthusiasm! A need that it will be important to meet.

About Gros Pato

What life with Gros Pato looks like

Gros Pato is a small adult yorkshire terrier dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gros Pato, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gros Pato?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Loire Atlantique handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gros Pato on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gros Pato if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gros Pato already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Gros Pato isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gros Pato and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
